79 Hate Organizations Active In California, Map Shows... but not all are hate groups

The recent article regarding hate organizations in California has a serious flaw: it draws exclusively from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far left organization that itself is a hate group in that it identifies anyone who disagrees with them as a hate group. Now I will agree that many of the groups listed would be identified by almost all of us as hate groups. But is it also lists some highly respected groups that support traditional Christian values, identified as general hate or anti-LGBT. Disagreeing is NOT the equivalent of hating. Groups that espouse beliefs that have been held for several thousand years of history and do not do so with hateful words or with violence should not be identified as hate groups. The SPLC has identified several highly respected national organizations as hate groups also.
